Heirs of Damon, Book 2
Publication Date: November 18, 2013
Laurel will do anything to save her Santorini inn from the powerful Damon family, and that includes manipulating Andrew Damon, the man they’ve sent to get her off the property. Andrew might have a reputation for being irresistible to women, but she won’t have any problem resisting him. This is war, after all, and the Damons drew their weapons first.
Andrew has spent most of his life chasing women and wasting time, but he’s determined to do his duty by his family, even if that means ousting an infuriating (and gorgeous) widow from the inn that legally belongs to the Damons. He doesn’t expect to fall for her. And he definitely doesn’t expect to discover that he’s been played.

What was the first
romance novel you read that made an impression on you?
When
I was a kid, I loved this series of romances for young adults called Sunfire
Romances. They were all titled by girls’ names, and they were set throughout
American history, during the time of some important or noteworthy event. I
gobbled those books up—for both the romance and the history. I still own all of
my old paperback copies of them.
Do you plan all your
characters out before you start a story or do they develop as you write?
I
tend to do characterization intuitively. That is, I’ll go with actions,
thoughts, and dialogue that feels right
to me at any given moment of the book. So I’ll start with broad characteristics
of a certain character (he’s got control issues, or she clings to her
independence), but I won’t have all the nuances worked out until I actually
write the story. Often, a character won’t fully take shape until the revision
process, since it’s only then that I realize how the characterization and the
plot come together.
Who is your perfect
hero? And why?
My
favorite heroes are all complex and layered, and their power and appeal come
from something deeper than physicality. They’re always strong and sexy, of
course, but their real power is mental, verbal, emotional, rather than just physical.
I want a man who can blow me away and turn my knees to jelly by his mind and
his conversation—not just the way he looks.
How did you get the
idea for this particular novel?
I
introduced Andrew as a character in Seducing
the Enemy, since he’s the brother of Harrison, the hero of that book. So I
knew I was going to write a book about Andrew. I was flipping channels one day
and came across a documentary on the Greek islands, and I realized I needed to
write a book set on Santorini. That was how the inspiration came together for Playing the Playboy.
What is your favorite
scene in your new release?
I
really love two scenes in Playing the
Playboy. One is the love scene after the dog-crisis. It’s really raw and
emotional, and I love how it turned out. And then I absolutely love the scene
when Andrew returns to Oia after the black moment and finds Laurel working and
helps her back to her room. It’s nothing dramatic or earth-shattering—it’s a
really quite scene—but the emotions feel really deep and authentic to me. I
thought about amping up the drama, but finally decided against it, since the
subtlety conveys exactly the feeling I want.
Random Questions:
What’s your favorite
body part of the opposite sex?
His
mind. Or, if that doesn’t count, his abs.
What does love feel
like?
Like
the rest of life—sometimes thrilling and sometimes heartbreaking and sometimes
just hard work.
When was your last
kiss?
Does
kissing my dog count?
What’s an absolute
no-no in a relationship?
Betrayal.

love at first sight?
No.
Absolutely not. I believe in attraction at first sight, but that never equals
love.
